Hi guys,

Just wondering what is needed to convert the rear brake setup from an S13 to Skyline. The car currently runs a five stud coversion, but the brake setup is still using the single piston caliper with the external handbrake.

I have the twin piston calipers and I'm assuming I will need a handbrake cable, rear knuckles and a set of disks with an internal handbrake. Anything missing and does anyone have a step by step guide to completing this conversion?

you just unbolt all the s13 brake bits off it and bolt up the skyline ones. You don't need to swap the whole knuckle over.

The only thing i'm not sure about is the hand brake cables. I've heard you need the r33/34 hand brake cables as they are longer than the r32 but can't confirm one way or the other

Will need:

- R33 Hand brake cable, it's longer

- R33 brake lines, it's longer

- Drumbrake & backing plate

- Rotors

- 5-Stud Hub

- Caliper

- A strip of metal to extend the bracket that holds the handbrake cable

- brake fluid lol

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
